No solution

$x/(x-9)-4=9/(x-9)$

$(x-9)/(x-9)-4=0$

If we guess that $x!=9$ , the fraction will be simplified:

$1-4=0$

$-3=0$ : No solution

By the other way, if take the value 9 for x we will have a 0 in the nominator and has no solution either.

How do you solve x/(x-9)-4=9/(x-9)x/(x-9)-4=9/(x-9)?
